Yesterday I decided I would have this tea for my daily cold steep, but then as I was portioning it out into my cup, I had a moment of panic when I realized I would have to put all of the rest of my sample into the cup for the cold steep. Oh noes, I wouldn’t have any more! Then I sucked it up and told myself that I wanted to try it iced anyway, and that finishing a sample out of my cupboard should be a good thing. I guess this is already a definite to-buy!
I was surprised today that the tea was still as light as it was: more like a light gold instead of the amber I’m used to seeing for overnight cold steeped blacks. I was concerned that maybe I needed to let it go for longer, but it smelled good, and when I stirred up the leaves a bit more color was released into the liquor. This was definitely tasty as a cold steep, passion fruity and light, but with a decent helping of flavor from the black tea as well. All the same, I think I might prefer to hot steep this one and then ice it to get the most flavor out of it, or maybe just leave it to cold steep longer.

I love this tea too! I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who has a moment, or more, of panic when it comes to running out of my beloved teas :)
I also have thepuriTea’s Mango Black Tea, or I could send you more of the Passion Fruit Black. (For anyone who wants to sample it…) :)
I do want to try their mango black, but I’m now definitely planning on ordering a full pouch of the parssion fruit, and I actually have a ton of their oolongs on my wishlist of try, too! So I’ll be making an order from them anyway, but thanks for your offer again!
